Your adventure begins with a scenic cruise across the crystal-clear waters of Lake Whakatipu, aboard either the iconic vintage TSS Earnslaw or the sleek Spirit of Queenstown.

Once you arrive over at the working high country station, partake in a wander around the grounds to meet and greet all the animals that call the farm home. Our guides will give fun and informative commentary, and you'll be delighted by a farm show detailing life for the working dogs.

Indulge in a decadently classic country morning/afternoon tea with homemade scones and tea. Use your time to your leisure to wander the gardens and re-visit your new animal friends.

Please be sure to arrive 20 minutes before your departure time to check in.

Please note: The TSS Earnslaw will be undergoing scheduled maintenance 19 May to 8 Sept, we have another fantastic vessel available throughout this time - Spirit of Queenstown
